Does it come with tons of retro consoles/games? 🎮

[@Bill_1983]

I've been daily driving this mini pc for about a month now I think, first thing I did was turn that RGB crap off in the bios, after that I bumped up the power plan in the bios to performance (70W) and tbh for daily computing I think its just as fast or faster then my desktop, I just moved my m.2 boot drive over to the mini pc to minimize the changes. Not a single bluescreen, or random restart, lag or hang is basically non-existent with it. I have been running it in 1080 res for gaming and im getting results around a mid tier discreet gpu results which if you think about it is kind of insane for integrated graphics only pulling 70W total system power. When I get a chance I'll pick up a pcie 4.0 gpu base and utilize the oculink port and I have no doubt this configuration will be an absolute BEAST of a system.

[@TheBrandonn]

I think this might be the most beautiful computer I've ever seen in my life. Blue is my fav color and tigers are my favorite animal. I need this, even though I dont actually need it right now.

[@EVOTech1]

I really didn't expect to love this system as much as I have. The blue they used is just so beautiful to look at. not a fan personally of the tiger image but the fact that you can replace it with anything you want or just turn it off makes it great. I honestly hope more mini PC manufacturers start making systems with different colors.

[@danielgriffith8911]

the "blue" is one of the 3 colors that CYCLE. You can change the pattern if you can create one.. no link is provided to sell you anything other than the tiger, but supposedly they make logos for product reviewers. You cannot choose a single static color... its all or nothing. I believe the logo display was a placeholder for upcoming models that offer a touch screen display in its place.

This mini PC is good for gaming in 1440p ? or better stay in 1080p ?

[@anderssorenson9998]

How hot/loud is it?

[@peTeMelster]

Wish they put the R9 7940HS in like they did with the Venus UM790 Pro.

[@Bill_1983]

I almost bought a 790 Pro, I didn't because of the reports of blue screens and random shutdowns and crashes, I suspect they cant get an effective cooling solution into a package that small, however, if you do a CPU comparison of the 7840 and the 7940 there is very little difference between the two, biggest being about 100mhz on the graphics.

[@danielgriffith8911]

Unless you are a diehard Ryzen supporter, check out the AtomMan X7 Ti

[@rob90230]

Can you recommend a monitor for this system? I would like a 27 inch 2K monitor.

[@EVOTech1]

Personally, I use an LG 27GL83A-B as my main display. I have had it for a a little over 3 years now and I love it. I would gladly pick up the most recent version of that but if I was in the market today, I would buy this right now amzn.to/3GXhok3

[@dsmith5940]

Does anyone know whether this PC facilitates eGPU connection via TB4 or Occulink? Obviously the latter is faster, but the former is more common. It would be nice to have both options! Thanks.

[@EVOTech1]

it has an optional OCuLink port adapter included but you lose the second m.2 slot. it also supports full usb4 so you can use an eGPU that way if you prefer.

[@maximustitan8171]

I'm curious what is the DDR5 temperature while gaming.?

[@Bill_1983]

it has ram coolers built into the mobo, a lot like you would put on an m.2 drive

[@electricjohn1]

Any good for MSFS?

[@Liliac34]

I ended up buying the Nova PC from MicroPowerPC. It has an i7 12700 and an RX 7900 XTX and the performance is incredible. The PC is beautiful and the case is made out of aluminum and has an integrated handle which is great for me because I can take it to and from college when I travel

[@bymynix]

UM790 Pro

[@yissnakklives8866]

​@@bymynixwhy?

[@yissnakklives8866]

I've been looking at these and for some reason, the 780xtx appears to be slightly faster (and has the occulink port that most people wont use). They both have the same cooling system, the 790 runs a few hundred Mhz faster, but otherwise they look the same, spec-wise

[@bymynix]

@@yissnakklives8866 That's absolutely right. I guess it's also Personal preference. I have an UM790 Pro myself as a Home Server. So far so good, but the 780 is maybe Better for some people through the oculink.

[@rob90230]

Can you add faster memory to this unit? Is there faster memory than DDR5 5600 SODIMM; similar to desktop memory?

[@EVOTech1]

unfortunately not. I don't really know of any mini PC that does not use JDEC speeds. XMP/DOCP is pretty much only used in full size memory sticks. there were some XMP SODIMM DDR4 RAM sticks but there were only a handful of laptops that could actually use it. If you used it in a non XMP laptop, it would run at the lowest JDEC speed specified in it, usually around 2133/2666, which would hurt your performance. 5600 is the max speed you can get on this system. future Mini PCs will likely support higher speeds but these current systems will not support newer JDEC DDR5 speeds.

[@yissnakklives8866]

​the previous version of the um690 allowed mem speeds of up to 7200 and would run 6000mt mem without issue. They killed this off in the 690S, limiting it to 4800MT. No idea on this box

[@JollyMolly-wp4xr]

When I get this Barebone.. what's the 32/64 GB Ram and 1 TB Compatible with this mini PC ... I'm Lost in the numbers and sizes..😢 Help😢

[@yissnakklives8866]

This specific box can handle up to 96GB of DDR 5 5600 MT SODIMM memory and up to 2, 4TB m.2 drives (mught be 8tb per), or one M.2 and the Occulink adapter, which would use one M.2 slot, should you wish.

[@jabonorte]

Not sure where the Oculink idea came from - think it's a solution looking for a problem - and the light show us a just a weird choice, but the actual machine looks pretty advanced. There is a big jump in price from the next model down in their range - the UM690s - and this model, so can't help but wonder what they could have done by putting this chipset in a plainer box without the gimmicks.

[@nezbrun872]

Occulink is a cabling interconnect standard for PCIe, a way of having PCI peripherals off-board. It avoids the overheads of tunnelling PCIe through Thunderbolt, particularly latency, a problem that severely limits eGPU performance over Thunderbolt. That's why TB connected eGPUs offer lacklustre performance compared to the same card plugged into a PCIe slot with the same four lanes. Occulink throws away the TB overhead by being a native PCIe connect without tunnelling.

[@jabonorte]

@@nezbrun872 Yes, but is it really something that needed to be included? How many people are actually going to use it on a mini PC? For most people who game, it's easier to have a mini-ITX PC for gaming, as it's neater/less complicated than having a mini PC and an external graphics card. It might be possible to use the Oculus to link to Oculink hardware, but the IGPU doesn't have enough power to make that worthwhile. I think it says a lot that Minisforum don't pre-install the card in the PC, because people are more likely to want the slot for NVME drives. They'd already included a 2nd slot in the Ryzen 9 board, so the Oculink was probably cheap/easy to include the card as a sales gimmick because all they needed to do is design-in the hole in the case for the pass-through. At best it's a niche selling point on a slightly improved existing platform.

[@shaolindreams]

@@jabonorte Quite a few probably looking for that feature. You can't really take your mini-ITX PC around in your backpack, whereas this box is small very portable and you can connect a graphics card for serious gaming.. e.g. at home, Or i think even with the graphic cards in the backpack it's still smaller and much lighter than a mini-ITX PC. Occulink is a badass feature tbh, rather have it than not. This mini has a strong CPU matched with a external GPU it's going to be able to game on a much higher level than just the APU. Modular gives you more options.

[@Bill_1983]

@@jabonorte Unless you want a very high performance pc in a very small and mobile platform, largest item being your external graphics card. You could fit everything you need into a multi handgun case you can pick up from harbor freight, 4K TV's are everywhere. Some will try to argue that you can connect a external gpu via thunderbolt 4 and they would be correct, you can but thunderbolt 4 max transfer rate is about 40GB/sec at best... Oculink rate is 63GB/sec which eliminates the bottleneck completely meaning you can fully utilize a 4090 on a mini pc using oculink, only thing I haven't seen yet is gpu manufactures building the pc onto the external gpu itself, Id think that would be worth a propriety interface personally.

[@SkyeReim]

it's a super win tho. if u don't use the oculink, you can use it as a storage. it's just a win win situation. dent tell me you don't know about it??/

I really like the Oculink option and Minisforum pushing the competition. Just too bad that the company is shady AF.

@@jabonorte I'm glad you have no problems. I have a 9 month old UM773lite dead. I'm thinking their 2 year warranty is BS. After customer service asked for a video of unit not working and flashing light on power adapter customer service does not even bother emailing me back. 3 weeks no reply for a unit purchased at Mini's forum. I will never buy another. It was a great little computer but heat is a real problem. Sadly I bought 2 of them.😐

[@CommanderSix]

Your RAM speed is holding you back.

[@iamrocketray]

Mine has 32 gig of 5600 and is set up with Oculink using a AMD 7800 XT and it outperforms my older gaming rig at a fraction of the power usage.

[@synen]

Why is this better than UM790 ?

[@iamrocketray]

I have both and as I'm using a EGPU using Oculink the 780 XTX is better as its a far tidier setup. I also am not so keen on the 790 pro's IO, which has 2 usb4's on the front and none on the back. Performance wise I can't tell the difference although I believe the 790 pro is a couple of FPS faster. The max VRAM on the 790 pro is 6 gig whereas you can go up to 16 gig on the 780 XTX. If you don't use the Oculink its a coin toss, but I still prefer the 780 XTX because of that USB4 on the back which provides both video and power to my monitor.
